Whoever comes to Niagara and doesn't take the Maid of the Mist boat, really didn't arrive. But can't get wet like being hit by monsoon, haha.

Niagara Falls is the world's largest waterfall, and its water flow is one of the best in the world, so much water, where will it end up? The answer is the Niagara Whirlpool. This place is not particularly far from the Great Falls. The drive is about 20 minutes. There is a Whirlpool Park in the United States and Liya Gara Park in Canada. Both sides have different facilities to watch the Great Whirlpool. Canada is the air cable car, overlooking the entire vortex, in the United States is a fast drifting boat, sitting on a boat worth more than $1 million, all the way to the center of Niagara vortex, but the fare is good, Canada will be a little more cost-effective, It is about 13 yuan per person, and it costs more than 60 yuan per person to do a fast boat in the United States. In fact, you can see it in Whirlpool Park. Whirlpool Park is a state park in the United States, where you can overlook the entire Whirlpool. The Niagara vortex formed about 4,200 years ago at the end of the Wisconsin Glacier (Wisconsinan glaciation). The large amount of water generated by the melting of the glacier flows north along the Niagara Canyon formed by geological fractures. The rapid current carries a large amount of rock and sediment in the canyon, and flows rapidly to St. David Canyon (Saint David''s Buried Gorge ), which intersects almost vertically with Niagara Canyon. The current at 30 feet (about 9 meters) per second suddenly changes direction, the huge flow of energy violently hit the rock walls on both sides, and after a long period of unremitting impact and erosion, nature finally created a huge, Like the green pearl of the beautiful Niagara whirlpool.

If you like Art Deco, definitely worth going from a high-rise or political perspective. Especially free (noon but need a ticket check) to see what metal is underneath the seat in the Parliament hall. The only downside is the lack of female MPs.

It is conveniently located in Elmwood. You will find this museum with a great collection of artworks. Everyone can find what they like. I live in Buffalo so I can go anytime and have the opportunity to see a special exhibition. The first Friday is free and it is great!

love is blue
History lovers will enjoy this "museum" with so much to see. Enjoy everything that is offered here. You can spend a whole day there, but spend at least2-3 hours walking around the museum, looking at boats and submarines, looking at historical artifacts, photos, military vehicles, uniforms, etc. I found it very charming and worth the time to go. There is also a small restaurant/bar in the museum with a beautiful lake view. Highly recommended! Children of all ages will love it!
